The grand-daddy of 3D accelerator cards can still speed along!

by toast822 , Nov 25 '01
Pros: Good 3D-performance for older games, 32 MB RAM, easy installation, overclockable.
Cons: Outdated technology, small heat sink with noisy fan, causes hardware conflicts, sketchy drivers, inadequate manual.
Why this card?

The Diamond Viper 770 Ultra was among the fastest and highest rated 3D accelerator cards in late 1999. Its core is the nVidia TNT2 Ultra/Pro chipset supported by a then whopping 32 MB of RAM. By today’s standards these...

Great Bang for the Buck

by kewlprince , May 21 '01
Pros: Inexpensive and feature-packed, takes a beating.
Cons: No TV out, drivers no longer supported by S3.
I've been around computers for 20 years so I've seen alot of good and bad components. When I purchased my new computer I decided to go with the Diamond V770 because it offered TNT2 and Open GL for only $130 which at the time was a real bargain.

Slow but steady

by yhwman , Feb 06 '01
Pros: Cheap, supported well by nvidia
Cons: sloooooooooooooooooow
I used to have a TNT2 until I was given a Geforce and was very happy with it (Though naturally I was even happier with the Geforce). The TNT2 is a very fast card and was the first card from anyone to beat 3Df/x’s voodoo cards at their own games. 3Df/x...

TNT2 Chipset Still A Bargain...

by kinneys , Dec 14 '00
Pros: Speed, Value, Drivers, HOT Performance
Cons: Runs HOT
While the TNT2 chipset is nearing two years old, the only better video cards out there are the GeForces. At only around $70 currently, the Diamond Viper v770 series is a great buy for those on a budget. I bought a v770 in July 1999, and I have yet to...

Video Cards

by denatron , Dec 10 '00
Pros: Exceling experience
Cons: None
I was first introduced to the world of video cards in 1997. Purchased a computer from Micron over the phone after looking at what is to offer for the first PC, price range etc. The price then was right.

So I waited at home with the free...

A solid graphics card

by RoryRohloff , Nov 12 '00
Pros: A solid card at a great value
Cons: A slight quibble with the lack of documentation
I have used this graphics card for a while now and I feel that it is excellent. I play numerous games that require high resolution and this card has no problem pumping out 1024x768 resolution with it's ample 32MB of RAM. I frequently play Mechwarrior...

Excellent Card if you are on a Low Budget

by matwood , Nov 06 '00
Pros: Excellent Price/Value Combination
Cons: No longer support by S3, need to go to NVidia to get Win 2K drivers
Before the release of the DDR, Voodoo 5500, etc., I bought these when they were considered state of the art. However, with the advent of gaming, these cards, while not state of the art, are still excellent performers.

I have 3 of these cards...

Not worth the hype

by PKM_Assassin , Oct 05 '00
Pros: Fairly Inexpensive
Cons: Low FPS, Limited drivers
The Diamond Viper 770 Ultra is based on the nVidia TNT 2 GPU (graphical processing unit) with 32 Megs of RAM and 4 times AGP. The Ultra model uses the same TNT 2 GPU, the same amount of RAM and the same AGP speed as the standard 770 model, but this...

Complete detailed Review

by ronako , Jul 13 '00
Pros: Good card, good price
Cons: doesn't compare with those $300 cards
Diamond Viper V770 Ultra

I bought my Diamond Viper V770 without the box from a store for about $150 dollars. At first, I was hesitant about buying it because I had never tried a product from Diamond Multimedia. After trying this board, I...

Blazing Graphics Heat up the Screen

by ExtremeZero , Jul 11 '00
Pros: 32MB of Memory, Killer 3D
Cons: Not the newest card on the market but still a great contender
The Viper V770 is not the newest video card on the market but it is still a great card for 3d and 2d gaming. I have had the Viper for over a year now, but it still runs every game I want it to perfectly.

Still a strong card but. . .

by spigidygak , Jul 07 '00
Pros: Still a strong card
Cons: Showing age.
I've had this card for about a year and a half now. This card has been a strong performer for the last year now. I've been able to get smooth framerates (20+ fps) with newer games. This card still puts out graphics at a good level. On half-life I...

A first class Card

by dfarah8 , Jul 07 '00
Pros: Good Rates and performance
Cons: High Cost
After weeks of research I decided to buy this card. The TNT2 Ultra chip is fantastic. This is a great card for gamers alittle pricey but great Rates. This card out performs the 3Dfx card in parallel. The dark scenes are alittle dark but the...

Yeah baby

by fjkehrejkr , Jun 23 '00
Pros: sdbs
Cons: xjfdkse
Generally, the Viper V770 is slightly above average in performance when compared to the other cards. Note that this card’s performance is somewhat dependent on your CPU- you’ll need a good one (say, Pentium II 450 or above) to squeeze all the power out...

This is a sweet card!!!!!

by jonman , Jun 05 '00
Pros: very fast, great graphics
Cons: none
This is an absolutely incredible card. It's TNT 2, so it is very fast. And it accelerates in 32 bit color, unlike the Voodoo 3, which can only accelerat in 16 bit. Not only that, but it's just plain faster than the Voodoo 3 by a long shot. In half life...

Is that a video adapter in your pants?

by benerdin , Apr 27 '00
Pros: Speed, Visual Quality, Cost
Cons: Some OpenGL problems with older drivers
First of all, I don't have the "Ultra" version of this card, and I'm not sure what the differences are, but I'm guessing it just has slight improvements or has TV-Out or something like that. But, just know I'm using my non-Ultra card as a...
